Well it’s been a while.

But over the past couple days did a few things,

Got the PTO all fully hooked up. 
But what’s not pictured is I got the air filter box and assembly all back togehter too.

Great work on this Tony!  I’m looking forward to seeing it complete!

like the pto black color --- i'm big fan of painting the pto pulley black rather than red -- makes for great look

Ain't it always the way--buy the assortment then use up two sizes and none of the rest!

Back at it!

Gave the hood one last fine sanding with 400 grit and painted the black with Rust Oluem Satin Black. 2 coats and she’s not perfect like @c-series don tractors but I think it turned out very good!

@TonyToro Jr. I have been following along and I think you are doing an excellent job 👍🏻 Don’t forget, my brother has been an auto body technician for over thirty years. So I have a good and VERY CRITICAL advisor. Honestly if it were not for him, my tractors would not turn out the way they do!! Thank you for the compliment! 👍🏻

It looks great! I’ve been following along since the beginning and I’m excited to see how it turns out! Good job!
